Than Kull Woman Suffrage Parade. Baltimore. June '!'. A last des perate attempt, to avert a hitler fac tional fight was made by the Bryan forces, when the democratic conven tion took up the problem of select ing a temporary chairman today. So sharp were the lineos divided that Bryan himself became u candidate for the temporary ehairnii'jiship. After Bryan made a speech nominat ing Kern and attacking Barker, Kern took the platform. He plead ed for harmony, and asked Barker to join him in withdrawing from the contest. After waiting vainly for Barker's replv. Kern himself with drew and nominated Bryan. Again : Bryan took the platform. He ac eepted the nomination and the line iin for the final struggle was com plete.:"" Representative Fitzgerald, of Brooklyn, and Theodore A. Bell, of California, seconded Barker's nomi nation. Cries of "vote, vote," in terrupted Bell's speech. Fitzgerald spoke amid derisive yells from all quarters. The floor and galleries were in great disorder. A Platoon of police was niarshi-Ued into the hall and down the aisles in an ef fort to quell the disorder.. The chairman Bhouted a warning that the galleries would be closed to morrow if the disorderly scenes con tinued. Bryan again took the plat form, making a point of order that Chairman Mack had announced r, roll call, during a period of disorder but that under the rules each side should have an opportunity to pre sent its position. Cone Johnson, of Texas, aroused a tremendous outburst by declaring: "The tight is now on with Bryan on one side and Wall street on ihe other." The roll call on the selection of a temporary chairman began at 2:40, and resulted in Parker's elec tion. Convention Called to Order. Baltimore, June 25. Chairman Mack called the national democratic convention to order at 12:11!. Noisy throngs delayed the proceedings fjr a time. Judge Parker entered short ly after the proceedings opened. There was a loud demonstration. The Indiana delegation by vote of 21 to ti, decided to support Parker. Kern reiterated his allegiance io Bryan. At . 12:30 practically all delega tions were in their place. Appeals were again made for order. While Cardinal (Jibbons pronounced the in vocation, the entire assemblage stood with bowed heads. Bryan on the Floor. Chairman Mack directed Mie read ing of the names of the temporary officers. The first named, Alton B. Parker, for temporary chairman, was greeted with a great wave of cheering, to which the band added Its liveliest strains. Willfem Jen- SENATOR FKAXCIS J. XKW LANDS Of .Nevada, , wlio Is in Baltimore for the purpone of Hltending the deino- cratlc national convention, which convened tlwre today, aiitl BHulst iiiit lit the framing of a party plat' form for tills rear' national elec tion. nings Bryan arose suddenly on tne platform and was greeted with great cheering. Bryan stood in tht center of the platform, while wave after wave of tumultuous 'applause swept the auditorium. He. motioned for silence, but the cheers continued. When silence was restored, Bryan began speaking, placing in nomination '-Senator Kern, of Indiana, as temporary chairman. Delegates rose, cheered and swung their hats. Bryan's SpeechJ Bryan spoke slowly, his words punctured with cheers. "If any of you ask for my credentials," he said, " I beg to tell you that in three" campaigns-- I've '.-been' tin champion .f democratic principles and in three campaigns received the votes of six and half millio:) demo crats."' There was tumultuous cheer ing "Has anyone here sought harmony- more than I?" asked Bryan. "No, . no," responded delegates over the hall. Bryan said he urged thi national committee to consult tin candidates, particularly the two leading candidates, but without avail. Wilson's chairman, Bryan said, had hee.i trniied, down by the national committee. "The song of victory shall be sung by one whose heart has been in the fight."' was one of Bryan's stirring phrases. "What better man could we find than Kern," Bryan .-exclaimed "Parker," came shouts in reply, mingled with "Kern." Bryan had spoken twenty-two minutes there were demonstrative interruptions from the galleries, with cries of Parker." Bryan's stirring sen fences had the crowds cheering again. "We are making history to dav," lie exclaimed, "and the cum t.rv is whiting to hear whether this convention will follow Chicago in listening to the voice of predaton wealth." Bryan said he had not for- g.)tten the promises of campaign funds from Wall street eight years ago. After Bryan had sptken !!i minutes there wa sanother oiitbun of "Parker" shouts from the ga leries. Bryan closed at 1:2S .amid wild cheers, after speaking fort minutes. Among other things, Bryan a: serted that the same interests and influences that dominated the Chi caeo convention and maue it a farce, were present in Baltimore and more brazenly at work than m Chicago. Bryan said he tpok for his text-the text the committee had put. on the walls before him. He then quoted a big banner on the wall with a picture of Andrew Jack son. and under it read: "He never sold the truth to serve the hour "That is the language of the hero of Monticello." The delegates smiled at the reference to Monticello fo the quotation was not from--Jeffer son, but from Jackson. "At the end of sixteen years of battle Bryan continued, "I find things 1 fought for triumphant not only m my own party but in the republican party as well." This sally brought applause. "This is no ordinary occasion Bryan continued. "This is an epoch making convention. 1 know men in humble walks of life risking their positions with big railroad corpori tiona. to assist us in this fight for progressive principles." Bryan then lauded Kern for his distinguished public services. "I appeal to you let the commencement of this con vention be such that democrats can raise up their heads amongst their fellows and say: 'The democratic narty is unafraid.' You can t frighten it with your Hyana and beat it with your Belnionts." While Bryan spoke Thomas I Kvan sat on the convention floor. We have been traveling in the wilderness," Bryan said. "We now come in sight or tne promised lanu During many years of darkness, pro gressive democracy has been the pillar of fire by night. 1 pray you delegates, now that the dawn or day lias come, do not rob the pi o pie of the right tho have our party as their pillar of cloud by day. Kern Appeals for Harmony, Kern took the platform as Bryan closed and was niidly cheered. Kern appealed to Parker to urine with him in supporting O Uorman, Cul hereon, Clayton or ono of a number of others he designated. Kern pro tested . against adverse cries of Bryan, and exclaimed that Jeers for the old leader meant not democratic homicide, but suicide. Kern ex claimed that If appeals for harmony did not avail, then the democrats must turn to their acknowledged leader, and that leader must, be WH 11am J. Bryan. Great cheering tol lowed, while Bryan again mounted the platform and motioned order. Before the Meeting. I Baltimore, June 25.

Un doings of the party leaders . could not he greater than it is in the cir cumstances: The . liryan-i a:-ut-i fight is of chief interest and coming next Is tho contest for the nomina tion. Ordinarily the temporary .chair manship would not receive any at tention, but Mr. Bryan has seen in Judge Parker the veiled hand ol big business and the interests, and has therefore caused, according to the dispatches, a realignment, ot forces.
